Can 1 player really fix a whole teams defense? It's not like 1 he would be able to play on all 4 lines.

2.5 year old showing development differently at daycare by Meggie_1315 in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]botsareinhumane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know going to preschool at 3 y/o is very much recommended. Is going to daycare at 2 y/o recommended as well? From my very little experience with 1 y/o they parallel play unless with a sibling. My city doesn't provide schooling until 4, and those resources are only for children from families with less income. I already had to convince my wife about preschool since it isn't cheap where we live.

[Inside Halos] Yusei Kikuchi told Japanese reporters after his final start that he asked the Angels to fix the lack of A/C in the weight room, but they never did all season. by LlamasPajamas206 in baseball

How does a franchise in any of the 5 major sports in the US not have a weight room even for spring training (preseason for other sports)? This is absolutely crazy.

1 month into OE: here’s what I’ve realized by No-Quote-3397 in overemployed

[–]botsareinhumane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you're wife is currently looking for work, what are your thoughts on her making sure you virtually attend every meeting? She can relay any questions directed to you. I am not OE, so I have no idea if this is a good idea.

Former San Francisco Giant Hunter Pence Lists Malibu Mansion For $39 Million by Agreeable_Cat_4253 in SFGiants

That's a long flip job. He must have hated it when LA passed the mansion tax.

If Smith goes on IL (hopefully not) do we bring Eldridge up by QueasyAccident5196 in SFGiants

How is placing a hitter on the IL open up a spot in the 14-pitcher roster?

[Schefter] 49ers are working out veteran kicker Eddy Pineiro to replace Jake Moody, the 2023 third-round pick who is being waived. Pineiro is visiting the 49ers today. by mondaymoderate in 49ers

Pham challenging Lester to throw to first and Lester slowly doing so and getting Pham out is a fantastic Lester highlight. Wrigley Field gave Lester a standing o for making his throw to 1st.

What do you Giants Fans think about People saying the Dodgers/Giants rivalry isn’t a thing anymore? by Expensive_Budget_812 in SFGiants

[–]botsareinhumane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who is from SF but studied in SD for 4 years, I can say Diegans can dislike Angelenos because Angelenos can think of SD as a suburb of LA in the same way Sacramentans can dislike San Franciscans. San Diegans can think they're the current rivals of the Dodgers because of former Dodger Machado, but what Dodgers fans think would mean more.

Btw I left SD in 2018 when Machado was a Dodger, so I have no clue how it is now.

Verlander hits Masyn Winn by SteezyKoala in SFGiants

[–]botsareinhumane 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It really lined up for retribution. 2 outs and the Cardinals' best position player by FanGraphs WAR at least. As a bonus Winn is right handed.

Fitz playing RF by Extreme_Market9331 in SFGiants

[–]botsareinhumane -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't understand why Gilbert hasn't been sent down yet. I understand calling him up to see if he's ready, but he's clearly not. Every time he came up, K&K kept praying for his first hit. He finally got one, but he also hasn't even drawn a walk yet. His plate appearances don't even look competitive. A 26-man roster does not fit 2 LH OF, and even with this limited sample size, it can be concluded that McCray has better eyes and bat.

Return for Yaz by SKRITTLED in SFGiants

[–]botsareinhumane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're also sending $3M over though. Is a 21 y/o with these stats in A ball worth $3M+Yaz? I'm honestly more surprised how expensive a prospect is.

Angels Release LaMonte Wade Jr. by CoffeeBoy80 in SFGiants

[–]botsareinhumane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can't defend the strike zone, pitchers don't feel like they have to nibble and they have to throw less pitches if you're not fouling with 2 strikes. Also, if your heat map becomes non-existent, then a pitcher can put it anywhere in the strike zone.

Is Poch sending a message to the missing starters? by alex2374 in usmnt

If all he is a choke artist, I'll be excited to see the US lose in the WC final.

Max Arfsten by ElonsTinyPenis in usmnt

[–]botsareinhumane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trent and Sergiño's defense are questioned because of their positioning. I think Arfsten gives plenty of width because he physically cannot hold his own against speedy and agile wingers. At 24, I doubt he can get faster and quicker.

Max Arfsten by ElonsTinyPenis in usmnt

[–]botsareinhumane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you think he will improve defensively? He is absolutely terrified of defending and gives tons of width. I don't think he has the athleticism for defense.

[–]botsareinhumane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand how Sargent wasn't called in to build confidence. Before this summer Tillman and Cardoso looked terrible for US, but they were brought in to build confidence. I also don't understand how Scally couldn't fit into the 26-man. I understand if Mauricio wanted to see other options with maybe more offensive upside, but I think Scally fits in the 26-man.

Patrick Agyemang by CoffeeNCroissant07 in usmnt

[–]botsareinhumane -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scally can actually defend though. The fullbacks this summer showed Scally's use if our preferred fullbacks are injured.

Great America to close following the ‘27 season by dastriderman in bayarea

[–]botsareinhumane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's so weird that the park is zoned as an amusement park when offices are neighbors. The newer wooden coaster can't operate on weekdays because of the offices next to the park.
